A course by Marta Grau (Lilday)
Marta Grau started out studying jewelry design and moved on to product design where she later specialized in footwear. She learned shoemaking under her mentor until she launched her own business, Lilday.
Her workshop is located in Aiguafreda, Barcelona, where she designs and makes each pair of shoes by order following a conscious, slow-fashion philosophy. She uses vegetable tanned leather free of toxins and vegetable dyes such as tree bark (chestnut, mimosa, etc.) to create her small bespoke collections and custom orders. She has collaborated with artisanal and ethical fashion brands such as Anna Rovira, Nonibarea, and BackCouture.
